Oh, my! I thought I was probably the only person who used that one!!! Sometimes I would delude myself by saying I would only *clean out* the freezer, which of course turned into defrosting it, cleaning out the refrigerator, scrubbing the stove, etc. Anything to avoid the great cavernous unknown of diving into my mind to do an open-ended assignment. I would have rather worked a hundred "word problems" than written a "three page" paper. My three pages always turned into thirteen, or thirty, because one point leads to another, to another, and pretty soon you need a publisher or at least a bindery to turn the thing in.
Oh, dear, there I go, doing it again . . . <grin>
> When I was in college, my favorite was defrosting the freezer, which, of course absolutely HAD to be done the night before a paper was due or before an exam!
